Hi, I've recently migrated my emails from a Yahoo account to my own mailserver on a VPS. Ever since then, Thunderbird seems to have issues with the mailbox's directory structure: When I start Thunderbird, it immediately deletes the local copies of all 3rd-level folders (i.e. subfolders of a subfolder of a folder in the mailbox root). Since that didn't happen with the Yahoo account, I

Hello everybody, I have a question about lazy_expunge plugin. I set up Dovecot with lazy_expunge plugin on a Debian Wheezy machine; I setup also a global acl to keep .expunged namespace readonly for all users. Imap client is Horde Webmail Edition 5.2.3 When I try to delete folders containing subfolders, lazy_expunge copies into expunged private namespace only the upper level folder. The subfolder

Hi, probably since the update to 2.3.1 I can't backup a specific users mailbox. For backup I use the command 'dsync -o plugin/quota= -f -u user at domain backup dbox:/backup/dir' When I execute this command with the -D option, I get to see (above only Debug messages) dsync(user at domain): Panic: file mailbox-attribute.c: line 362 (mailbox_attribute_get_stream): assertion failed:

Hi, I finally migrated my IMAP server from cyrus to dovecot2. I have been using cyrus since many years and have not much experience with dovecot yet though. I've converted my imap server using cyrus2dovecot (several times until I thought it was correct) but there is one thing left which confuses me and I'm not sure what I can or need to do to change it. With Cyrus I used

# 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Hello, we're using mail on NFS and the indexes on localdisk, with a director setup. (18K+ users) now to get more performance i thought to use the ITERINDEX option. however this has the side-effect on some mailboxes that it doesn't show the subfolders under INBOX. they seem 'disappeared'. Removing the ITERINDEX option fixes this

Hi, When I perform a search using doveadm every time it returns different results. For example: $ doveadm search mailbox shared/\* TO stromvers 938ff10527d6be515f5900007b46f991 6 938ff10527d6be515f5900007b46f991 7 938ff10527d6be515f5900007b46f991 8 $ doveadm search mailbox shared/\* TO stromvers 6a8ff10527d6be515f5900007b46f991 1 6a8ff10527d6be515f5900007b46f991 3

Hello, Using cyrus2dovecot (https://github.com/a-schild/cyrus2dovecot) I have migrated some test mailboxes from Cyrus (2.4.17) to Dovecot (2.2.9). The problem I'm having is that the seen status is in cyrus.index files, which cyrus2dovecot doesn't understand. Does anyone use cyrus2dovecot for migrations? If so, how do you deal with seen status when it is stored in the .index files?

Hi Aki, Again, thanks very much for your response. Your solution of adding the colons worked. Actually, I futzed with it a little bit and it works with as few as 2 added colons. This is interesting since in the examples section of https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/authentication/passwd_file/ it explicitly states: ----------------------- This file can be used as a passdb:

Hi, running: dsync -D -v -o mail_fsync=never mirror -R -f -u user at domain imapc: Where "domain" is a cyrus imap server does not do what the documentation says it does, not even close. After the first run to an empty mailbox on the dovecot 2.2.13 server all the mails (1.1GB) seem to be correctly synced. I send a test email to the dovecot server and it shows up correctly. Second

Hi, I did a migration from cyrus 2.2 to dovecot (fresh installation, details below) via cyrus2dovecot from FU Berlin. That worked, but I first was missing mails in subfolders ander Inbox. No I detected that they are in the users Maildir in folders in his directory. They are listed when using telnet: * LIST (\HasChildren) "." "INBOX.ebay" * LIST (\HasNoChildren) "."

I've run into a problem with `doveadm backup` (2.2 rc2 and 20130226) I did not notice in 2.1.15 doveadm backup [-Dv] -R -u cyrtest1 at iai.uni-bonn.de -m INBOX imapc: => crashes (signal 6 with acl plugin configured, sig 11 without acl) If this is considered a bug (not just because of the crash but in the meaning of "my configuration should work") it would be great if it could be

I have a new Dovecot v2.2.9 installation and am having trouble getting virtual users recognized. Also, the example configuration listed on the Wiki generates config errors. Note that I haven't tried running dovecot yet, I wanted to verify that the config looked good first. First, my configuration. I'm trying to use /etc/dovecot/users as my combined userdb and passdb file, with all

Hi, we are migrating from Cyrus 2.3.7 to Dovecot 2.2.13. We have ~7000 maildirs with ~500GB. Our goal is to do the migration without users have notice and with the shortest service downtime. The users use IMAP (with shared folders and ACL), POP3 and sieve filters. As a first choice, we tried the Dovecot's dsync tool. First tests were great, but we are not able to change the Cyrus auth

When doing a filesystem backup of an moderate sdbox mailstore (300GB) - are there any files that can be safely excluded from the backup?? Like *.log or *.backup?? Or are they all "vital" for recovery? I'm already excluding the sdbox/virtual folders as it looks like they get created and updated as needed. -- Daniel

Hi I'm getting segmentation fault in Dovecot 2.2.11. This happens when trying to do a user lookup by "doveadm user".
